The intention is to introduce you to the people who have been carving their own path...with no care for what anybody thinks.

We try not to post things that are still for sale but sometimes post things that are not easily available. If you like what you hear, then find these people and tell them how great they are.

Better still, tell them and then seek out their new releases and buy them. We add links, when they are reliable and active, so that you can keep track if you so wish.

Always go straight to the artist or the label where possible. That way, the money goes straight to the people responsible for this art. These people rely on our support to keep going and make more quality releases!

Please feel free to leave comments as you go along...at least then we know you appreciate this stuff (or otherwise) and you're not just a bunch of freeloading file collectors.

If you made this music and we have pissed you off by posting any of this, please leave a comment in the post and the offending articles will be removed.

Superb set of six C60 tapes containing some of the finest people around. This was a split label release from Factotum Tapes (owned and run by Matthew Reis of the outrageously good Teeth Collection...amongst other projects), Husk Records (run by Josh Lay & Morgan Rankin), and the beautifully named Hung Like A Horse?! (run by Cory Rowell from Demonologists...myshite hasn't been updated since forever but, I think, demonologists@hotmail.com is still active).

Apart from the obvious quality on offer, and the fact that there were only one hundred copies of this released, this is also offered up as a sincerely meant doff of the cap to The Static Fanatic. 1000 posts and counting...that takes one hell of a lot of commitment. And...thanks for the Creel Pone!

LP released on Swedish label Harsh Head Rituals which is run by Dan Johansson (aka Sewer Election).

Alfarmania are Kristian Olsson and Tony Hallén and represent "Post-mortem / power electronic depravity from northern Sweden, brimming with insanity, negative emotional charge and filthy technocratic dizziness. Crafted with primitive tools revealing claustrophobia syndrome among four walls of an asylum, the hell of chemical paradise and existential terror." Nicked that directly from discogs...bit over the top but you get the idea!

Proiekt Hat (or sometimes Projekt Hat) are deliberately mysterious and I don't know who he/she/they are but I do know that I like "them" a lot.

WKW is the Drone/Doom Metal/Power Electronics project of Jim Gibson who runs the Noiseville record label.

I've posted this for five main reasons: 1 - I love WKW and own everything that's been released; 2 - Noiseville is a really superb label and I have put a lot of well spent cash that way over the years and never regretted a penny; 3 - it's released on Cold Spring ("UK label specializing in all forms of extreme media, but particularly, black industrial/ambience, neo-classical and orchestral power - sampling, and hardcorepower electronics/noise from Japan."); 4 - it's candidate for one of the best album titles...period...

but more importantly...WKW released a split LP with BSBC on Gnarled Forest and Noiseville a couple of months ago...it is very very good...go and buy it...that's an order!

Noiseville website hasn't been updated for a while so ... Jim sells directly here or email him at jim@noiseville.com or hit up BSBC at gnarledforest@hotmail.com or keep track here.

Hoor-paar-Kraat is (mainly) the work of New York (via Florida) based painter, draughtsman and sound artist Anthony Mangicapra. This double cdr was released on his own Goat Eater Arts label in 2005. Each HPK release is different but expect some fine experimental "noise" as a commom thread.

7" released in 2007 on Lasse's Pica Disk. Sold out at source but there are a few copies on Discogs still going!

Described as "a pair of 'piano music' pieces, acting as the debut collaborative single from two of contemporary experimental music's most prolific/consistently rewarding practitioners; oren ambarchi and lasse marhaug... those of you expecting something on par with maurizio pollini's reading of satie's gnossiennes might be a little shocked to find instead a fierce 12+ minute inside-piano scrape-fest, hedged with bursts of live-electronic feedback & a 'hot' fidelity familiar from any number of david tudor recordings... yet at the same time not too far removed from the new blockaders' whole gesamtnichswerk; this is anti-music at its finest... not something for strict followers of oren's friendly/subdued sine-guitar throb, nor lasse's harsh wall of electronic sound; but definitely one for those whose preferences fall in the noisier end of the electro-acoustic composition/improv spectrum."

Piano? Sounds like sulphuric acid dropping from a great height onto wet sheet steel. And, as we know, that is a fine sound indeed!
